ORIGINS
Winery: Barrel Oak
Region: Virginia
Virginia is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States. It is bordered by Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to the south and west; Pennsylvania to the north; and Delaware to the east. With a long history of winemaking, Virginia is now one of the most exciting wine regions in the US.
Virginia has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1600s when the first vines were planted by English settlers. The state was once home to the largest wine-producing region in the US, but Prohibition in the 1920s put an end to the industry. In the late 20th century, the industry began to revive, and today Virginia is home to over 300 wineries.CUSTOMER RATING
